We've got you completely covered. What We Know George Hill has been ruled out tonight for the Kings, while Buddy Hield is listed as probable. Hill we be out tonight for personal reasons and will not play in tonight's game against the Pistons. Buddy Hield meanwhile has been listed as probably with a sprained ankle, but is fully expected to play. De'Aaron Fox should draw the start in place of Hill, though the last time he started at the point he was a fantasy let down in just 26 minutes of run time. Every Lineup Guys Kevin Durant FD - $10000 DK - $10300Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 49.83 DK - 49.33 Stephen Curry FD - $9200 DK - $9500Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 49.98 DK - 51.41 If you read last night's picks article for today you know the system was extremely high on the Warriors matchup with the Nuggets primarily from the Golden State side. We spotlighted Klay, Dray, and the two gentlemen pictured above, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant. Well, Steph and KD appear in each of the top 25 lineups being put out by our optimizer as we head through the afternoon towards tonight's lock time. I should note, Steph actually appears in the top 25 on both FanDuel and DraftKings while KD is a FD only every lineup guy. I will provide a second DraftKings play in a moment but first a review on the Warriors and why we're so high on them tonight. First is the line, the game opened at a 229.5 total projection and has only shifted down by a point this afternoon with the Warriors moving from an eight point to a nine point favorite. While that pushes on blowout territory when talking about Golden State this spread actually trends to the lower side. Defensively, Curry finds himself in a great spot facing a Nuggets back court that is easily exploitable against opposing point guards, allowing 22.9 points and 8.8 assists per game this season, while conversely the Nuggets have been a bear for opposing small forwards, surrendering just 27.5 fantasy points on average to the position, but that includes games against the Hawks, the Nets, and the Knicks. This is Golden State. Both Steph and KD are...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Stephen Curry FD - $9200 DK - $9500Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 49.98 DK - 51.41 We've got a short set of only five games on the docket for today, one of which sees the Warriors traveling into Denver to face the Nuggets. This game opened with a monster 229.5 projection and sees the Warriors as just an eight point favorite. This gave us a chance to do something that doesn't happen too often here, and spotlight the Splash Brothers. We'll get to Klay in a moment, but we lead off at the point tonight with Steph Curry. Steph tends to go overlooked in cash game plays with safer plays in the form of Russell Westbrook and John Wall floating around out there, but tonight the system loves Curry among the top point per dollar plays of the day at any position. Through nine games this season Steph's averaging just under 33 minutes per game, seeing upwards of 37 while averaging 27 points per game and picking up some steady peripherals. He'll spend most of his night paired up with Jamal Murray who is a fine defender, but not really a threat to Curry. Curry is an absolutely stellar play on FanDuel where his salary sits at a season Low, conversely, the DraftKings salary is a season high and while he is still a fine cash play, the upside may be limited unless he finds a way to keep himself out on the court for 40+ minutes. Jrue Holiday FD - $7200 DK - $6700Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 34.44 DK - 35.07 Jrue Holiday saw his salary across the industry hit a high note on Monday following what was arguably his best output of the season last Saturday against the Cavaliers. Two lackluster performances later the price has dropped back down to a more desirable level. While still a bit higher than I might like to pay for a player whose usage and production can be streaky at times, I'm sold on Jrue for one specific reason tonight. The Bulls. Chicago is absolutely terrible defending against the point allowing the most fantasy points at the position at this point in the season. Holiday is a multi-tool player,...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11100 DK - $11200 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 49.98 DK - 53.79 Happy Halloween DFSRNation!! We've got a spine tingling four game slate this evening with a monster over/under and some scary fast paced action. We don't want to be batty so we start things off tonight with the obvious choice, Russell Westbrook. He's been doing Westbrook things, which is basically everything, and though the scoring has taken a slight dip with the additions of Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, Russ has already managed to post three triple doubles in six games so far this season, twice in the last three outings. The price is at an ever so appealing season low on FanDuel, and though the matchup with the Bucks isn't ideal, on such a short slate, it's going to be hard to get away from Westy. The wonderful thing about tonight is no game projects to get out of hand and this one in particular sits at just a 1.5 spread. There's not a lot of upside at the point tonight, so Westbrook is a play in all formats. Darren Collison FD - $6500 DK - $6000 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 33.57 DK - 34.01 The night tips off in Indiana as the Pacers play host to the Kings. Darren Collison has gotten off to quite an impressive start to the season, and the sites have taken notice. The price on DraftKings is $700 higher than where it was on opening night while the FanDuel price has jumped $1600. Most night's I might be hesitant to play Collison at this price, but with the Kings in town it raises his floor to a comfortable level while lifting the ceiling even higher. Collison has not only been putting up ridiculous assist numbers (8 per game), but his shooting has been on point as well. He's shooting .508% from the field with double digit scoring performances in all but his most recent contest. The minutes are secure, the shot is landing, and the assists keep adding up. Collison is in consideration in all formats. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $7200 DK - $7900 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kawhi Leonard, Michael Carter-Williams, Nicolas Batum, and Markieff Morris all remain out today. These four have run the boards for a combined total of zero minutes this season, so we know the implications of their absence, and how to proceed. The Kings will rest Zach Randolph & George Hill today. Sacramento will give their veterans a little R&R tonight in favor of getting a closer look at their younger core of players. This will mean increases in usage for De'Aaron Fox, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Justin Jackson. Jackson in particular could be an intriguing punt play if given plenty of time to run with the starters. Elfrid Payton remains out for today's contest with the Hornets. Payton will miss a fourth consecutive contest as he continues to deal with a hamstring sprain. DJ Augustin has been starting in Paytons place during the interim and has averaged 26 minutes and has paid consistent value, though he has shown no upside. Ersan Ilyasova is out for the Hawks. Ilyasova has missed two games last week with a strained knee, but returned for 29 minutes in Friday's contest with the Nuggets. The same knee will hold him out once again this afternoon as Atlanta hosts the Bucks. John Collins and Mike Muscala each stand to benefit from the absence of Ilyasova, though both are limited to punt plays for large tournaments. Myles Turner remains out for the Pacers. Turner suffered a pretty serious concussion in the season opener against the Nets and is still suffering from the repercussions as he will now miss a fifth straight game with no timetable for his return. Domantas Sabonis has filled in for Turner during his absence and has been a hit or miss play. The Spurs present an average defense at the five so if you need the salary you can consider Sabonis, but there are better plays out there. What We're Waiting to Know DeMarre Carroll is questionable to play against Denver today. Carroll is dealing with a sore right ankle, and though it doesn't seem to be anything serious, the Nets are erring on the side of caution and will see how Caroll feels following shoot around before making a determination on his status tonight. Every...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Hassan Whiteside, Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, Zach LaVine, and Seth Curry all remain out on Saturday We've danced this dance before as the aforementioned group have all missed several games apiece already, We're familiar with their fantasy implications, the usage that is up for grabs, as well as the benefactors of said usage. Let's move on to more pressing matters... Anthony Davis expects to play against the Cavaliers. Davis injured his knee early on Tuesday in Portland and then missed Thursdays tilt with the Kings. He was bumped up to questionable last night with word breaking this afternoon that. he now expects to play. In addition to Dante Cunningham and Darius Miller seeing increased minutes with the brow out, Jrue Holiday and DeMarcus Cousins each saw a big bump in usage, and will take a significant hit to their fantasy values with Davis suiting up to start. I still prefer Holiday, I'll be a little more cautious with Boogie now, with other cheaper options to consider at center. As for the man himself, given his history, I'll wait to be certain Davis is 100% before I go locking him in, despite the fact that he's been playing out of his mind this season. Trevor Ariza has been upgraded to questionable. Originally ruled out, news broke earlier that Ariza is now considered questionable for tonight's tilt with the Grizzlies. This would relegate Luc Mbah a Moute back to the bench costing him several minutes and limiting his fantasy appeal. What We're Waiting to Know Eric Bledsoe is officially listed as a game time decision. GTD is the official marking on Bledsoe who took to Twitter to air his displeasure at his current situation in Phoenix last weekend, but he hasn't seen any playing time since then and I would be shocked if Bledsoe sees five seconds of court time before Phoenix is able to move him. Mike James has been drawing starts over the past few games but hasn't done much with the opportunity. Austin Rivers status remains uncertain after injuring his finger on Thursday against the Blazers. Rivers injured his finger in the final minute of Thursday's game with Portland, and was expected to undergo X-rays to determine the nature of...
